Kanpur: Ishant Sharma, the Indian fast bowler, who missed out the first two one-dayers against England because of the ankle injury he picked up in the Nagpur Test against Australia, has been cleared to play in the third one-day international at Kanpur on November 20.

An Indian channel reported that Ishant had been declared fit but a decision on whether the fast bowler would play in Kanpur was yet to be made.

India won both the ODIs - at Rajkot and Kanpur - by convincing margins, and it will be interesting to see if the Indian team management would disturb a winning combination.

Ishant was declared player of the series in the four-Test series against Australia that preceeded the current one-day series after picking up 15 wickets.
